Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are enjoying Marvel’s alternate timelines thanks to What If…? and Loki. However, movie fans already saw a version of this in the X-Men movies with Days of Future Past. In fact, it was the X-Men who really solidified the idea of alternate Earths in the pages of Marvel Comics.

The “Days of Future Past” storyline is what started it all in 1981, and the X-Men have created several alternate timelines since then, both devastating and obstructive. Either way, these alternate timelines show the mutants on Earth have a bleak and horrific future in most of the futuristic stories.

House Of M (Earth-58163)

“House of M” is the story of a timeline that Scarlet Witch created and was part of the basis behind the idea of the MCU’s WandaVision. This began after Wanda had killed several members of the Avengers in the event series Avengers Disassembled and decided to create a new world where mutants lived in peace.

Almost everyone lived a peaceful life, with mutants and humans coexisting. However, this was not a world that was based on reality, and when some heroes learned it was not how things were supposed to be, they set out to fix it. This was not destructive until the end. When “House of M” reverted to the real world, Wanda said “no more mutants” and stripped almost every mutant on the planet of their powers.

Old Man Logan (Earth-807128)

“Old Man Logan” is about an apocalyptic future when the villains of the world realize they can win if they worked together to beat all the heroes. What happens to Wolverine is as tragic as anything. Logan returns to the X-Mansion and sees that villains had attacked the team. He flies into a rage and kills everyone.

What Logan doesn’t know is that Mysterio had cast an illusion, and Wolverine killed the X-Men, thinking they were the villains. This leads him to self-exile while the villains beat other heroes and divide up America for themselves. With so many deaths, especially those at Logan’s hands, this is a world mired in tragedy.

Ultimatum (Earth-1610)

“Ultimatum” was an event that took place on Earth-1610, which most Marvel fans know as the Ultimate Marvel Universe. There were many big events in this world, and one of the greatest selling points of the new universe was that deaths here actually meant something. That made “Ultimatum” a destructive tragedy beyond anything readers had seen before.

Magneto was the villain here, and he murdered Professor X to kickstart his nefarious plan. Millions died around the world, and when Magneto caused the Ultimatum Wave to crash into New York City, thousands more perished. A long list of Marvel heroes died in this event, including Angel, Beast, Daredevil, Cyclops, Hank Pym, Wasp, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine.

Age Of X (Earth-11326)

“Age of X” was a 2011 event that saw an Earth where there was no one to help peacefully unite mutants and humans. As a result, this was a world where hatred and fear of mutants grew to frightening levels. After a young mutant girl lost control of her powers and killed 600,000 people, anti-mutant legislation was passed.

The government set out to either arrest or kill mutants on sight, which became known as the Decimation. This all led to a siege at a location known as Fortress X, which served as a safe haven for mutants who survived only when the Avengers helped them, sacrificing their own lives to protect them. Thousands of mutants died in this reality.

Moira X’s Ninth Life (Earth-TRN756)

This alternate timeline of the X-Men has the mutants of the world living on the sentient island of Krakoa, developing their own government and finally enjoying peace away from the humans who hated and feared them. The reason for Krakoa was that Moira MacTaggert is a mutant who has lived several full lives, and in every existence, mutants lose and die out in the end.

Krakoa is a way to turn the tide and give mutants a chance to survive. The most devastating of Moira’s lives was her ninth life, known as Earth-TRN756. In this world, she worked with Apocalypse to see if he could save mutants from extinction, failing again to the mutant-killing Nimrod, who slaughtered almost every living mutant. Moira had Wolverine kill her so she could bring the knowledge Nimrod’s origins to the past.

Mutant X (Earth-1298)

Earth-1298 was the home of the “Mutant X” storyline in 1998. This was an Earth where the mainstream X-Men hero known as Havok was sent after he seemed to die in the real world. When Havok showed up on this new Earth, he learned he was the only Summers alive, because his brother, Cyclops, had died as a child.

Havok ended up as one of the X-Men’s founders instead of Cyclops. He married a woman named Madelyne Pryor and had a son named Scott. In this world, S.H.I.E.L.D. was a terrorist organization, and they are who released the deadly Legacy Virus. This turned Madelyne into the Goblin Queen. She helped destroy the moon and came close to destroying the Earth before Havok stopped her.

Days Of Future Past (Earth-811)

One of the most famous X-Men alternate timelines is “Days of Future Past,” partially because it was made into a movie but also because it was the first groundbreaking alternate reality story in X-Men comics. In this world, the Sentinels helped bring down the mutant nation, but they turned on humans as well.

Most mutants were already dead when this started, and more were killed during the story, including Colossus and Wolverine. The X-Men sent someone to the past to stop the events that caused it all: the murders of Senator Robert Kelly, Professor X, and Moira MacTaggert. Almost all mutant heroes died here to ensure that a timeline existed where this never happened.

Bishop’s Timeline (Earth-1191)

In Uncanny X-Men #282, the “Bishop’s Crossing” storyline started. A mutant named Bishop arrived from the future, chasing a villain named Fitzroy that came from his timeline. Bishop ended up stuck in this timeline and became a member of the X-Men.

However, his future was a bleak one, similar to the “Days of Future Past” timeline but even more devastating for mutants and humans alike. As in “Days of Future Past,” mutants live in prison camps in this world, but this was caused after the so-called “mutant messiah” Hope Summers massacred a million humans.

Age Of Apocalypse (Earth-295)

Bishop not only came from an X-Men timeline that devastated mutants and humans, but he also accidentally caused another one that was even more devastating. This was revealed in the “Age of Apocalypse” storyline. This X-Men event series started without warning, as Marvel began publishing the books with no explanation after Bishop and Psylocke were unable to stop Legion from altering the past by accidentally causing the death of Professor X.

The events turned Magneto into the main mutant hero, but without Professor X, nothing could stop Apocalypse from conquering the planet and taking control by acting before the Age of Heroes, thus keeping the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and other superheroes from ever appearing. Even after Apocalypse fell, Weapon X took over as the conquerer and killed even more people.

Zombieverse (Earth-2149)

The most devastating alternate timeline for mutants in the X-Men was also the most devastating for the entire universe. This was Earth-2149, the Zombieverse. The Sentry returned to Earth, bringing a zombie disease that infected almost everyone on the planet. This included the X-Men, as not even Wolverine’s healing factor could save him from the disease’s effects.

The twist was that the heroes and villains continued to operate with their brains, coordinating attacks, while also unable to control their hunger for flesh. They even ate Galactus when he arrived and used his Power Cosmic to leave Earth and consume every world they encountered.
